| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Pours a mahognay brown color, with a huge, frothy, fluffy tan head. Great looking. Smellsd of a mixture of roasted malt, dark fruits, hops, a hint of toffee. The flavor had a lot of sweetness to it, with traces of raisins and dark fruits to go along with the roasted malt and nuts. The finish had traces of hop bitterness and cinnamon combined. Really nice mix of flavors and quite interetsing. Very tasty. ericandersnavy (1061), crossroads, Texas, USA

Not sure what the difference is between a coffee porter and a double nut brown, but this could have passed as either one.
Coffee and a very light walnut mix in the nose and the flavor, with a slippery texture and lots of nice bread/malt. Alcohol is apparent, but not overwhelming. Cavie (1386), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Murky tan brown appearance. Nice amounts of aged fruits with raisins and plums. Light amount of nuts with an element of malt. Taste is fabulous. Nice roasted malt flavor. Finishes like the bottom of a coffee grind. punkrkr27 (618), Berkley, Michigan, USA

Very hazy mahogany pour with a short-lived, off-white head. Vegetal with some nutty malt and brown sugar. Some sweetness upfront with a little bitterness coming through on the finish. Medium body but a tad aqueous with soft carbonation.
